At American Express, my main focus is finding repetitive, manual data tasks within the finance team and replacing them with automated workflows. I look closely at how the team reconciles their data to identify bottlenecks, and then I build solutions that drastically cut down manual processing time—in one case, reducing a 40-hour task to just 2 hours.

To build these solutions efficiently, I write end-to-end Python scripts and heavily use AI coding assistants like Cursor, ChatGPT, and GitHub Copilot. Beyond creating new scripts, I also deploy feature updates into existing automation pipelines, ensuring that all code remains secure and properly managed using VS Code and GitHub Enterprise
